Experience makes all the difference!

Temple Healthcare exists because most of the great medical innovations come from medical teams, nurses, doctors and engineers that have, at some stage thought: “I know a better way to do this”.

These ideas, along with some seed capital, become small companies that produce ground breaking medical technologies, which are first marketed in their home country, then in their own region, and then to the EU and the USA. It can then take as much as ten years before these innovations are actively promoted in Australia and New Zealand.

Temple Healthcare cuts this process short. With our network of international contacts in companies (manufacturers and distributors) all over the world we seek out new innovations in Critical Care, Respiratory Care, Sleep Medicine, Anaesthesiology and Emergency Medicine and bring them to the Australian and New Zealand market years earlier.

Our company is based in Mittagong, New South Wales and will soon move into a purpose built distribution centre in Braemar on the Hume Highway, south west of Sydney.
